Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 224: There are always new things! (10/32 leader extra)

Well, think too much!

Andy Lau particularly likes the drama "The Accidental Murder"...

When he saw Shen Yan, he said, "I originally planned to stop working for a year, but I'm worried that if I don't shoot this script, you will replace me!"

Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "There's nothing I can do. Next year might be the best time for "The Accidental Murder" to be released. If we miss it, it will be difficult to release it again!"

"How to say?"

"Haven't you seen the news? The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has issued a final notice, demanding that the quota restrictions on imported films be lifted by the end of 2011. I heard from Director Tong that the top leaders will visit the US at the end of the year to resolve this issue..."

"How to deal with it?"

"Expand the quota for imported films and, by the way, increase the box office revenue share..." After a pause, Shen Yan continued, "It should increase from 20 to around 35! And next year is a big year for Hollywood..."

"Two?"

Rao Xiaozhi said, "If you divide it up every month, there are about three films!"

Shen Yan nodded: "It's difficult to maintain the 50% red line. If we don't relax the restrictions, our market will become a colony of American films!"

"It's not that bad..."

"What's not going to happen?"

"colony…"

Shen Yan smiled: "Oh, I was just making an analogy..."

Liu Dehua interjected: "What does the 50% red line mean?"

"The percentage of Chinese-language films in the total box office cannot be less than 50%... Otherwise, you haven't done your job well!"

“Who didn’t do their job well?”

"The Film Bureau!"

"...No wonder..." Liu Dehua nodded. "I was wondering why this script was so bold and managed to pass the review! We even had to change the ending of 'Infernal Affairs' back then!"

Infernal Affairs has two endings. In the Hong Kong version, Andy Lau kills Lam Ka-tung in the elevator. When he steps out of the elevator, he holds up his ID and says, "I'm a policeman." In the ending, Andy Lau continues to be a policeman. In the mainland, Malaysian, and Singaporean versions, Andy Lau's character is arrested.

So, don’t say that Hong Kong movies are all castrated for the purpose of being released in mainland China…

The censorship systems and market demands in different regions of the world are different. Singapore’s film censorship is even stricter than that in the mainland!
Singapore, like Malaysia, has banned pornographic, violent, and racist films.
In order to release in Singapore and Malaysia, Young and Dangerous directly changed Chen Haonan into an undercover agent, and the last few episodes were banned from release...

The endings of movies like "Infernal Affairs" and "Election" were not only changed for the mainland, but also for the Singapore and Malaysia markets...

Censorship exists everywhere...

Moreover, the first part of "Infernal Affairs" was never released in mainland China.

Shen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Finally, I must add one sentence: This story is purely fictional. Do not imitate it. There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world!"

"Isn't it?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "It's true... Don't overestimate the audience's intelligence... Even "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has people imitating it..."

“As for the actors…”

"What's wrong?"

"Is Teacher Liu Xiaoqing suitable?"

"Don't underestimate Liu Xiaoqing, she's a real talent!"

Liu Xiaoqing plays La Yun, the character played by Chen Chong...

Shen Yan doesn't like Chen Chong, and even hates her. How could he possibly use her?

"Brother Hua's wife..."

"Isn't Ma Yili okay?"

Rao Xiaozhi: "...Isn't Teacher Ma too young?"

"It's okay, she looks old!"

Guo Fan nodded, then said, "Now we just need to choose two daughters!"

"Look for Zhang Zifeng for the younger daughter... the little girl in Aftershock... and the older daughter..." Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's hold an audition... September is the start of the school year... You pick a young and beautiful freshman..."

"Ok!"

Rao Xiaozhi suddenly asked, "Does Brother Yan have any recommendations?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "...I don't know anyone...you guys can make your own arrangements!" "Does Brother Hua have any recommendations?"

Liu Dehua also shook his head: "No!"

Guo Fan looked at Shen Yan, then said: "Don't worry, take your time to find one. Anyway, we won't shoot until November..."

"Hurry up if you can... Ji Xiang is being harassed so badly that he can't take it anymore!"

"A lot of people called Brother Ji Xiang?"

Shen Yan shrugged: "What do you think?"

……

No kidding, Shen Yan officially announced five projects on Weibo, the most anticipated one is "The Accidental Detective", after all, the male lead is Andy Lau!
Everyone knows that Shen Yan is grateful for favors. When Li Bingbing made a guest appearance in "Architecture 101", he gave her a movie "The Beauty Inside". Now Andy Lau has also made a guest appearance in "My Girlhood"...

Ma Yili also said privately, "This script is the most awesome crime film script I've ever seen! Shen Yan is so brave!"

Andy Lau also said, "The script for "The Accidental Murder" is the only movie I've ever been in the industry for which I wanted to act for free just by reading the script!"

Invisibly, it has elevated everyone's judgment of "The Accidental Murder"...

Then many actors wanted to participate...

Even though Shen Yan had clearly said, "The role has been decided!", they still contacted Ji Xiang...

After all, Ji Xiang is the producer of "The Accidental Murder"...

Ji Xiang is quite helpless...

As Shen Yan's agent, he could only go around various drinking parties, dinner parties, golf parties...

Despite much persuasion, Ji Xiang reluctantly said, "I can't make the decision. The roles are mainly between Andy Lau and Liu Xiaoqing. There's no way to replace these two actors!"

Indeed, unless Gong Li comes...

However, Gong Li is too expensive. Even if she really starred in the film, she would have to recommend herself... No, she would have to reduce her salary...

Ahem...

……

"My Girlhood" entered its third week, and with the arrival of September, the single-day box office fell by tens of millions...

Obviously, the phenomenon has passed and the box office has entered a stable period...

According to estimates, the box office of "Our Girlhood" should have one last small climax this weekend, probably around 3000 million or more. Combined with the 3000 million from the four working days, the cumulative box office will just exceed million!
This achievement is already enviable enough.

Just stop dominating the trending searches!

No, on September 9rd, the short films "Wukong" and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" and "Fart" and "Dialogue Between Huang Mei and Jin Chanzi" will both be released...

This immediately sparked a huge amount of discussion...

The listening and download volume of "Wukong" is already very high, and coupled with the super exciting short film of "The Return of the Great Sage"...

Anyway, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" saved millions in publicity costs—Shen Yan invested 10 million in the film...

As for Fart...

To be honest, the prelude to this song is too long - a minute of musical setup, and then a few lyrics...

It's a bit unclear!

Now with the MV short video…

Huang Mei and Jin Chanzi's dialectic about the good and evil of human nature—the story of Huang Mei transforming into an old turtle and descending to a coastal fishing village...

After his temptation, all the people in the small fishing village turned into demons, and there were no more humans left, and the village completely declined.

"Golden Chanzi, I won again this time. The world is beyond salvation!"

"Confusing people's minds and confusing cause and effect, Senior Brother is so obsessed with winning and losing, it's ridiculous and pathetic!"

"If you can't win, what's the point of proving the cause and effect and human nature?"

Many people watched the short video and then knew what Shen Yan was singing.

These two short videos have become trending...

A lot of people were speechless - you're on the trending search again! No, where do you get so many tricks?
